Hey guys,
I’m hoping you can help me out. My bike was just stolen outside a mexican joint at Mission and 17th. They clipped the lock and took off with it even with a bunch of people around. It’s super distinctive and means a lot to me. Everything on the bike is white or chrome, and the new breaks are so fresh they make a HUGE and obnoxious squealing noise. You can miss it.
Good luck. IF anyone out there sees (or hears) it, let us know, lc
I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
